Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

All kites need some wind to move..even when you are moving your arms and body, you create the drive in the sail for it...Forget it, juts wanted to say this... I was focussing on a Prism 4-D lately as sometimes wind drops on my island but this was just to fly if one day there is no wind...finally found myself buying a Zephyr for gentle winds rather than a no wind kite.How is the wind in your area? Does it drops sometimes or there is more no-wind than gentle one?

I really like the Prism 4D. You can even fly it indoors. In fact, it flys better indoors than some kites that I have that are indoor only.

Now, it's no trick monster, but it will do most anything that doesn't require it to yoyo, which is common in true no-wind kites. Having said that, it will fade, backspin, half-axel, multi-lazy, tip stab, and side slide in less wind than most anything.

There at better kites for indoor only flying, but I like this one for general low wind outdoor flying and the price is right.

I fly it when the wind drops below 1 and I want to just relax and fly without 'working it' so to speak.

Honestly, I am still waiting for a kite that will JL, comete, and rollup like my favorite UL but in 0.25mph - I don't think it exists yet, but this one has satisfied me while I am waiting.

Of the ones I've flown - the Blue Moon 61/49 - I like the challenge it provides since it has a bit more of a mind of it's own then others I've flown which keeps me interested. Plus it's significantly different from the rest of the pack and a dang fine looking kite.

I just got to play with the new iFlite by Patrick (layangman) available from Rob at Windswept Kites and for a small indoor kite to fly off a stick it was pretty sweet and it has some nice build features. None of the pictures or video's I've seen really do the kite justice. It would have to be a windless day though to take it outdoors IMO.

If you're interested in that type you might hurry to get it on your list for Santa, the nice tube it comes in will easily fit in your stocking and the price is right. I'm telling you nobody is making large profits off this if you're supporting small business Sat.
